Re: [amibroker] Re: Using fundamental data

No, Amibroker does not store historical fundamental data. 

 

You either need to: (a) store it yourself (this can be done using .csv, sql, Amibroker notepad and running a scan frequently), or (b) paying a quality service provider to gather data for you to access - There are companies that have billions of revenue (Thomson, IDC, etc) all of which do this.  Either way, you pay in time or currency.

 

But, for what its worth, I've found several decent trading and investing strategies that use fundamentals (and other data that is unrelated to price and volume).  So, it might be worth it....

I understand how to access it - my question was this: does AB access
the information historically? Meaning, if I look back in time to two
years ago, will I have the EPS for the this quarter (Q2 2008) or for
two years ago (Q2 2006)?
